Remembrance Service

Around 50 Club Members gathered this morning to honour and remember the 8 Club Members and all Service Personnel who have made the ultimate sacrifice in both World Wars and other conflicts around the World. A situation made all the more real through the speech from Dudley Fletcher recalling former pupils who fought in the Falklands.

We remember our own Club members who gave their lives in the two World Wars
